Classroom-based extensive reading
This survey of recent research on extensive reading (ER) for language learners focuses on ER in the classroom. While early adopters of ER imagined the quick emergence of an intrinsically motivated independent reader, the reality of much classroom-based language learning is that without considerable teacher guidance and supportive transitional activities, students are not likely to reach self-motivated independent ER either in or out of the classr…
The Limits of Covert Action in an Election Year
Kissinger and the Diplomacy of Coercive Linkage in the "Special Relationship" between the United States and Great Britain, 1969-1977
The majority of scholarly accounts suggest that Anglo-Americans throughout the era of détente, 1969–1977, were often fraught with difficulties. In particular, the relationship between the Nixon administration and the British government of Edward Heath is often seen as the nadir for the Anglo-American relationship during the Cold War. Nonetheless, elements of the Anglo-American “special relationship,” particularly those related to intelligence and…
The Power of Oil
This article focuses on Anglo-American relations during, what US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger termed, the ‘Year of Europe’. In particular, Anglo-American interaction leading up to, and during, the Washington Energy Conference (11–13 February 1974) is examined. By doing this, subtle nuances in the foreign policy of Edward Heath, British Prime Minister, 1970–1974, can be better appreciated. Traditionally viewed by commentators as varying betw…

The “Limit of What is Tolerable”
This article focuses upon the British defence cuts undertaken during the final governments of Harold Wilson, 1974–1976, within the broader context of the Anglo–American “special relationship.” Utilising previously classified material, it shows how the United States attempted to negate the severity of Britain's defence cuts. Such efforts were largely futile in preventing such reductions. Moreover, Anglo–American co-operation in a number of highly …
Henry Kissinger, Great Britain and the ‘Year of Europe’
Henry Kissinger's ‘Year of Europe’ was supposed to produce a renewed ‘Atlantic Charter’. Anglo-American differences over the creation of this led to severe discord between the two countries. The severity of this disagreement has not been noted by the existing historiography. These political antagonisms resulted in the cancellation of both intelligence and nuclear cooperation between the United States and Britain. This was done at the behest of Ki…
